For a long time we have been thinking about doing merchandise, but we never really felt that we had the time nor the proper partner. But recently we managed to free up some time and locate a nice partner in the form of Gametee. And after a few months of setup and work, the goodies are finally here!

I've always been a fan of subtle game-themed shirts. The things were people who knew about the franchise would really appreciate it but those who don't know about it would think it was simply a cool design.

Me personally, I never wear anything with a blatant game logo written all over it (ie, the Amnesia on the front of the hoodie), instead I prefer things with a little more subtle.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is still my favourite game!But I love SOMA a lot as well, and AMFP :)

Here are some ideas:

TDD: I would love a map, or if not possible then a t-shirt in parchment design, with the map of (parts of) Brennenburg castle.

SOMA: The different types of wildlife from soma. So different types of bionic fish, maybe artwork?

Okay here's something I would love!My favourite line from Amnesia: The Dark Descent is'Unlocking alien memories of spiralling towers, endless deserts, and impossible geometry.'How about you make a FanArt 'contest' of people drawing what this would look like!Then you put it on a shirt and add the text to it, and I will be rocking that shirt forever.

TDD: When you Google Amnesia: The Dark Descent on Google Images, there's a nice image through the eyes of a crouched player, looking up to a grunt with the light coming from behind it, making it look very cool in the shadows. Something like that would look awesome on a shirt.

SOMA: I love all of the ocean sceneries in SOMA. Would it at all be possible to make a shirt that doesn't just have a picture at the front? But one that has an ocean design all over. And then the bottom of the tee would be the ocean floor, with Simon standing there, looking up at the decayed underwater facilities, bionic fish, plants and more of that awesome stuff.

AMFP: A shirt with 'Mandus Co., Meat Processing Factory. Anno 1828'

I really should get some chores done now, but one more thing:Baseball caps.I would spend my life savings on an Amnesia: The Dark Descent-themed baseball cap. Or one that is designed with the colours and shapes of the Pig mask from AMFP.

Very nice, as soon as there is more merchandise I will grab some of these. What would be nice would be to have slightly more subtle things than just logos of the franchises. For example a decaying logo of Pathos-2 or of Upsilon/Theta, etc.

I Agee with the posts requesting something subtle. Or that broken picture of Catherine in the main menu?! Ooo. Also women's options would be much appreciated. How about some women's tank tops? Pleeease!!

I'd love some SOMA merchandise that utilizes this artwork that was used for the Steam Trading cards for the game:http://i.imgur.com/9PFssqm.jpg .Perhaps a mousepad or a phone case or a shirt/hoodie. It's honestly just a stunning piece.

As for Amnesia, what I think would be great is a shirt that's pretty subtle and has the rose from the loading screen on it. This is what I'm talking about: http://i.imgur.com/x6DOlAI.jpg .It could even have the logo on it if you really wanted (like this: http://i.imgur.com/KKgR8bx.jpg ), or just the rose in the front, and the logo on the sleeves/across the back.

Is there any chance you guys would be able to collaborate with some artists with a different nature? Over on reddit, a couple of really great fans have produced some real gems, maybe they could do some prints or official shirts for the game? I'd totally dig seeing SOMA through a more dynamic lens!

Would like to see SOMA merchandise, with the logo of SOMA. Someone posted an artwork on reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/soma/comments/4ogl1x/for_one_of_my_favorite_games/ ) and it would look great on a shirt.
